The Powys Business Awards 2013 took place last week.
The Social Enterprise / Charity Award, sponsored by Mid Wales
Housing Association Ltd, went to Beacons Creative Wales Ltd of Brecon, which is
in the process of expanding to increase the number of disabled people employed
to 63.
Beacons Creative (Wales) Limited is a unique social firm producing candles and related products whilst providing employment opportunities for people with learning difficulties and those furthest from the workforce. Born out of an eleven year day care service provided by Powys County Council, Beacons Creative, with the help of Social Firms Wales, was externalised in June 2009 to become a company limited by guarantee. The Company's objective is to develop sales, create new products, provide employment opportunities for service users within a safe and caring environment, and transform this day care service into a successful and profitable business.
Congratulations to everyone at Beacons Creative on this award.
